Tonight's diary gets a soundtrack with it! :D And, a one and a two and a...
Ich bin ein Cheese Head!
Let's get historical. On Feb. 17, 1972, President Nixon departed on his historic trip to China. Did FAUX News call him a Commie Socialist? Dick Nixon shook hands with Mao & everything!
On this date last year, President Barack Obama signed a $757 billion economic stimulus package into law. A start but more please?!
It's SPARKin' time! :D There are truly a$$hats everywhere - even in Canada. To protect & serve indeed... *&^%$#@!
This couple's Barry White & Marvin Gaye albums have GOT TO be really scratched up! ;D
Ya' know, if most people or groups kept celebrating being losers, one would think they should be institutionalized - not these people! GET THE SPARK OVER IT!
Finally, this discovery could really be a buzz kill for the SB 1070 folk! ;D
On with The Rachel Maddow Show!
"The Survival of the Democratic Party - Wisconsin is on deck to have a BUDGET SURPLUS this year; their version of the CBO said so! Huh...I guess those teachers & other public sector workers HAVEN'T bankrupted the state. The lovely Governor gave back a bunch of coin though, so NOW, they're in the financial soup. Rachel said the headlines about what's going on are mostly wrong; file that under "No $hit, Sherlock." AND, what the "good Governor" is trying to do will have absolutely no impact on that state's budget AT ALL.
And, I am SO WITH Rachel on her liberal/optimist stuff! I'm probably not quite as liberal as Rachel, but we share the "glass is half empty" mentality. ;D Can someone get a screen capture of that shark thing for me?! Muchas grassy a$$! :) 7 out of the top 10 campaign spending from outside groups were from the bat$hit camp.
Unions are the only ones that can hopefully battle the bat$hit. Ugh...wasn't counting on seeing Sharron Angle tonight...EEEeeeeeWWWWwwww!! Unions delivered NV to Harry Reid. Rachel brought up ACORN, too! Uh - oh...she's REALLY gonna be on Lonesome Rhodes' poop list now! ;D Good golly, Rachel haz teh smartz!
14 Dem state Senators in WI went buh - bye OUT OF STATE instead of providing the quorum necessary to do the Governor's dirty deed! One of them is going to speak to Rachel!! KEWL!!!
" 'Each of Us is In a Secure Location' " - I hope it's not where DICK is! We got a little Saturday Night Massacre history lesson from Rachel. Rachel compared what happened in WI today to the Saturday Night Massacre. State Senator Jon Erpenbach is not in WI & not on a beach. ;) The decision to get the heck outta dodge was made this morning. If just 1 Dem dissents, there will be enough for a quorum, but Mr. Erpenbach's confident they'll all stick together; I'm not sure how comfortable I am that it's THAT CLOSE. Can FOKRer Cheese Heads give us some guidance on this question? If the GOBP up there continues to act like GOBPers, the next deadline to look at is the end of June when the budget officially ends; there's time to tinker with this stinky turd sandwich of a detail of a budget bill.
"FirED Up!" - Ed Schultz is in Madison, WI! Be sure to hit State Street up there, dude - fun times had there MANY a time. ;D Why doesn't he run for office? I know he's needed where he is, but he'd be a HELL of a Senator. He's taken some Dem politicians to task for not supporting the protesters in WI enough - HELLO! :D So, can WI Governors be recalled if people are as pi$$ed off as what Ed claims?
"First Tunisia, Then Egypt, Now..." - Bahrain is the next country in the proverbial hot seat. Police attacked protesters - including women & children - with tear gas, rubber bullets, some live ammo, etc. while they were sleeping. Doctors who tried to treat the injured were themselves attacked. Richard Engel's there - good grief, first Egypt now Bahrain?! Did he come back to the states at all??!! BE CAREFUL, DUDE!! A lot of what's going on in Bahrain boils down to Shiite VS. Sunni. Gee, how familiar does THAT sound?
Saudi Arabia is probably very nervous about what's going on in Bahrain; they might be willing to go to war to keep the status quo. Bahrain's a small country, so hard - handed tactics might be more effective to convince people to stop the protesters & go home.
"I Can't Believe I Just Said That" - Speaker Sobbin' Small Price to Pay Goldilocks' had another no good very bad day?! We get yet another history lesson - this time with "Read my lips - no new taxes!" "Our Speaker" must've been out on the golf course when GWB's Daddy said what he said; he quickly couldn't believe he said what he said. BRILLIANT!
Speaker Sobbin' Small Price to Pay Goldilocks is causing "dissent" in the Rachel Maddow Show ranks because someone thinks he can't possibly be as bad as his job as Rachel thinks. He's crazy like a fox?! Does he WANT a government shut - down in his black heart of hearts? If so, he will have forgotten some more history! He should call up Newtie Gingrich on that government shut - down score. ;D
"Leave Eric Clapton Alone!" - The lovely North Korean leader's birthday was yesterday; there was much rejoicing.
Some North Korean citizens got the bribery shaft. The "head family" is trying to get Eric Clapton to do a concert there??!! AUGH!!!!!!!! One son DID get to see Mr. Clapton the other night in Singapore.
